Minutes of ARPB Regular Meeting & Public Hearing

a. DEMOLITION PERMIT to demolish the existing breezeway,
reconfigure pool and terrace area and the roof on the
pool house.
b. N. OCEAN OVERLAY PERMIT to alter the driveway and add

c. LEVEL 2 ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the

renovations to house and pool house roof.
Mr. Harold Smith from Smith & Moore Architects Inc., and
representing the Oberndorf's who own the property, described that most
of the work being done would be on the northwest entry fagade and around
and in the pool area. Mr. Smith then gave a PowerPoint presentation
pointing out the demolition of the existing breezeway, certain areas of
the pool and terrace as well as the roof of the existing pool house. Mr.
Smith also pointed out alterations to the driveway and the addition of a
free-standing wood pergola as well as various renovations to the house.
They would like to re -shape the roof on the pool house, he added, which
would soften the look. Board Member Dockerty asked what the current roof
was comprised of to which Mr. Smith answered it was a gray flat concrete
tile with a tint of blue in it and they would be matching that.
Chairman Smith asked how the building was able to be built on the
property line to begin with. Town Clerk Taylor explained that it was
originally one large piece of property and the present buildings were
built when it was one large piece. When part of it was sold off, that
is how the roof ended up with a flat side, she added. Town Clerk Taylor
went on to say that it was a non -conforming building, but you could add
to a non -conforming wall so changing the roof wouldn't matter. Chairman
Smith asked if height restrictions were within the Town Code, to which
Town Manager Dunham stated that they were.
Mr. Chris Simon, landscape architect with Nievera Williams
Design, continued the PowerPoint presentation regarding the pool area,
pointing out the style was dated. Mr. Simon stated they would be
enhancing the overall area bringing it to a more current style. He added
there would be a dining area under the pergola with an outdoor grill and
small kitchen with no plumbing. Mr. Simon stated they would be adding a
little height to the wall at the rear of the pergola along with a water
feature on the pool side to try and mitigate some of the vehicular sound
coming from AlA. He added they would be adding some landscaping to
soften the appearance of the wall. Chairman Smith asked about the patio
to the east to which Mr. Simon stated they were only resurfacing those.
Mr. Simon stated that a spa would be replacing a putting area that was
currently east of the pool house. Vice Chairman Murphy asked if there
had been any communication from the neighbors to which Town Clerk Taylor
said there had been none. Chairman Smith asked if they would be putting
windows on the south side of the pool house to which Mr. Smith said they
were not. Mr. Simon added the only thing they were touching on the pool
house was the roof and interior walls. Board Member Roach pointed out

that would not be changed. Chairman Smith added he thought it was a
beautiful home and all the changes were terrific improvements.

terrace area and the roof of the existing pool house. The motion was
